This might not be true depending on where you shop. Almost all groceries from Sainsbury's have labels for cooked.

The entries are mosty made by other users. You can have dozens of entries for the same item and they can all have different information. So before you log it, compare the numbers to your package. If it is too good to be true, it ain't.

Try to burn some more calories and eat it. I walked an hour and a half today and ate the chocolate covered shortbreads that I was craving. If you have a nice place to walk it's a win-win.

If it was going to affect your loss then why count calories at all?

Your weight fluctuates throughout the day because you eat and drink stuff. There is no "accurate weight". Your weight is what your scale shows at any given time.

Hm, very simmilar to my case at the moment. I don't know what to do either. Maintanance calories have been way insufficient for the past month. I've lost 2 years progress and can't stop it.

I've eaten more than 14 000 cals above maintanance for the past week or so. Can I be worried? I'm healthy weight so it'll take me 2 months at least to lose it. So I think I'm worried. For the past year I've been having trouble sustaining a deficit for more than a week at a time... so no idea if I'll ever drop those. And…

How long have you had the watch? It takes several days to adjust.

Sugar. I like sugar but I can't afford 4 tsp in each cup of tea or coffee sadly. So I have to do with sweeteners.

The banana is 100gr, a glass of water is 250gr. So the oatmeal must've been 850gr. I think this is what the OP is confused about. It doesn't add up.

Yes, me too.

Why not just go by the mirror?

No. It is about right in fact. 100gr oil is about 110ml. The reason your scale does that is because it is not as sensitive when you start adding stuff at increments of the order of 1 gram. I would use a measuring spoon.

1. Don't waste calories on food that doesn't taste great. 2. Try to maintain or lose when averaged over a month.

Well yeah but look at your picture...

If you have no other symptoms then in most cases it is fine.

I see. I have very different experience and that is why I posed the question like that. I was extremely miserable when I gained 35lbs over 12 months and became overweight for the first time in my life (I'm 38). It lasted only 2 years but I've never been more miserable.

More miserable than staying fat?

That only works if you are very heavy and there is s lot of leeway for error.

If your deficit is regular you might expext to lose regular amounts of weight every month. Not every week. Week is too short a period to talk about when it comes to weight.

I'm not suggesting to eat 2k the whole day. I'm suggesting to eat 2k on that MEAL. 6k at one meal is unnatural to all but a small percentage of people to which I'm sure the OP does not belong. 6k in one go IS a binge unless you ran a marathon. Please do not put words in my mouth which I didn't say.

6000cals in one go is a binge. Why are you doing this? Can't you just eat like 2000? There's plenty of food in 2k cals. I've never had 6k cals in one day let alone one meal. Sounds monstrous to me. I'm pretty sure this is not a normal thing to do unless you're running a marathon. If you plan on changing your lifestyle I'd…

I think you need to speak to your doctor about all this. Sounds very unhealthy.

3 meals a day and snaks is very unlikely less than 1000 cals. Do you use a digital kitchen scale for everything? Unless your meals are 250cal each which is not much of a meal to speak of you're probably eating more.

Just to clarify - tissue loss IS linear (if your deficit is), but your water fluctuates and this is what causes the uneven weight loss. The fluids weight mask the actual fat loss. Sometimes people don't realise this and try to convince themselves that fatloss isn't linear while their deficit is which is counterintuitive…

@sportynad9 try the small Taste the Difference pizzas by Sainsbury's. Yesterday had one with sundried tomatoes and mozzarella. Lovely and around 600cals. (Might need to check in store as online is only the bigger version which is 1000cal. ) Also Sainsbury's own brand gin and tonic sorbet. 100cal per 100g. Not as low cal as…

Hahahahaha OP, just don't forget that walking is an exercise too. You don't need to jump rope and do aerobics to consider yoursef exercising.

I'm almost sure that you don't like veggetables because you don't know how to cook them. I'm from a Med diet region originally and noone there eats veggetables steamed and semi raw and underseasoned on the side of a steak. But this is how many people from the west think about them. Veggies are instead incorporated in the…

Why on Earth would you want to dehydrate yourself? People are usually doing the opposite. If your body has stored excessive water, it is because it needs it to function properly. Focus on fat. Not on water.

Maths will set you free :wink:
